Hi folks!

I'm pretty much a lurker on this list, because I have just a few aroids as
houseplants.  However, I saw some pictures of Dracunculus vulgaris, and had
one of those "can't live without them" reactions, so I purchased a few
tubers.

I have some basic questions about planting the tubers - my apologies for my
extreme ignorance, or if these questions cover ground that his been covred
before on the list:

1) One side of the tuber has structures on it that basically look like
unpeeled garlic cloves - should they face upwards or downwards when I plant
the tubers?

2) Any suggestions on the type of potting mix I should use? I know these
plants can get big, but I'm going to start them in containers.

thanks so much for your suggestions and help -
